"Eyes?" Zuan was taken aback. Such big eyes? And two rows of them standing up densely. Just thinking about it would give him nightmares.
Jing Teng explained, "You were lucky. The monster inside was sealed and fell into a deep sleep to conserve its energy. Otherwise, if it had been awake and at its peak, that one look between you would have completely destroyed your consciousness."
Zuan: "..."
He couldn't help but say, "It sounds even more powerful than the Ghost King."
Jing Teng nodded: "Even more powerful than him."
Zuan: "..."
What exactly is going on with this huge tomb? How could it imprison such a terrifying being? And who could have done all this?
"Let's go." Jing Teng took his hand and led him to the side.
"Where to?" Zu'an was taken aback.
“Let’s go further down.” As Jing Teng spoke, a staircase suddenly appeared in front of them.
Zuan frowned; there clearly wasn't this staircase just now.
"Logically speaking, the deeper you go, the more terrifying the monsters you should be imprisoned, right?" Zuan asked tentatively.
“That’s true.” Jing Teng suddenly smiled. “Brother Zu, don’t worry, I won’t harm you.”
"Of course I believe you, but what's the point of us going down there?" Zu'an asked, puzzled. The Ghost King was chasing them, and the women upstairs didn't know what was going on.
"To deal with the Ghost King." Jing Teng's eyes showed a hint of determination.
Zu An felt a strange thought. In fact, whether it was the old monk in the lava or the multi-eyed monster here, their strength was already no less than that of the Ghost King. So why did they still have to go deeper?
In other words, does he deserve it?
Zuan felt he was getting a little cocky. Not long ago, a large group of them had been beaten like dogs by the Ghost King, but now that they had seen some powerful beings, they didn't even take the Ghost King seriously. It was as if they were still young and presumptuous, thinking that Maseratis were no good and that Ferraris and Lamborghinis were the only options...
At this moment, Jing Teng had already led him to the stairs, and the two walked down step by step. Zu An had a sense of familiarity.
"This staircase looks like some kind of portal to another dimension," Zuan said, noting the similarity to the feeling he had when traversing secret realms.
Jing Teng smiled slightly: "Actually, you can understand it this way. After all, so many powerful monsters are sealed here, and it can't be the concept of floors in daily life. So, this kind of passage is needed to separate each floor. Even if the seal on one floor breaks, it won't be able to run to other floors."
"Are these staircases also a kind of seal?" Zuan's heart stirred.
Jing Teng nodded: "Yes, these staircases are only for humans. Those sealed here are monsters and cannot pass through these barriers."
Zuan sensed something was amiss: "But the Ghost King still managed to escape from here, and you..."
He didn't say what came next. Strictly speaking, Jing Teng is also a demon, so how could he pass through these barriers?
“The Ghost King is somewhat special,” Jing Teng paused, “and so am I.”
Zuan couldn't help but sigh: "Now you should tell me what exactly happened, right?"
She seemed far too familiar with this place; the idea of the vines being enlightened seemed more complex than it appeared.
Jing Teng hesitated for a moment: "Brother Zu, wait a moment, you'll understand in a little while."
Countless thoughts raced through Zuan's mind, but in the end he only uttered one word: "Okay!"
At this moment, Mi Li's voice rang in his mind: "You've always been suspicious. You didn't believe that old monk who looked so kind and benevolent, but you believed this woman who has so many suspicious points."
“I can sense that she won’t harm me,” Zuan replied.
Mi Li scoffed: "Typical double standards. I think you're just bewitched by her beauty. Take my advice: lust is a double-edged sword."
